Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 15, 1912.

Application filed May 18, 1912. Serial No. 698,290.

To all whom'ttvmay concern:

Be it lmown that I, CHARLES S. BEESER, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Windber, in the county of Somerset and Stateof Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Curtain-Fixtures, of which t e following is' a specification, reference being had therein. to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to curtain fixtures,

and the primary object of my invention is to provide a window, door or alcove frame with extensible bracket fixtures for supporting the upper ends of curtains, draperies or portieres, without resorting to the use of rings and pins that are liable to injure and tear a curtain.

Another object of this invention is to pro-- videhinged curtain supports that can be swung outwardly relatively to a frame,

"whereby easy access can be had to the window sashes for cleaning purposes, without spoiling the curtains or removing the sam from their support. v

A further object of this invention to provide 3 curtain fixtures that are inexpensive to manufacture, durable, easy to adjust and manipulate, and highly eflicient for the purposes for which they are intended.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention resides in a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

Reference willg i owbe had to the drawing,

Figure 1, is a side elevation of the curtain framethe fixtures. Fig. 3 is a plan of the same, and Fig. 4 is an end view of one of the Further describing my invention in detail with reference to the drawing wherein like numerals denote corresponding parts throughout: 1 denotes oblong base plates having the ends thereof provided with openin'gs 3 toreceive screws 2 or other fastening means employed for securingrthe base plates to a window, door or alcove ame 4. As the base plates 1 are identical in construction, also the brackets supported thereby, I deem it only. necessary to describe the construction in connection with oneof, said base plates, it

I being understood that two or more can be used in connection with a frame.

I 5 denotes a right angular extension carried by the inner edge of the base plate 1, and said extension is provided with a slot or opening 6 for supporting the pintle of a curtain shade roller. In some instances this extension can be dispensed with, particularly when the fixture is to be used simply for supporting draperies.

1 6 denotes outwardly extending parallel arms and pivotally mounted between the outer'ends'of the arms of each set by a vertical pin or rivet 7 are the inner flat ends of tubular supports 8 and 9, the former being supported in a horizontal'plane and the lat- "ter disposed at an angle to the support 8. The tubular supports 8 and 9 have the outer ends thereof provided with sleeves 10 and adjustably mounted in said sleeves and extending into said supports are set screws 11.

l2 and 13 denote rods slidable into said supports 8and9 respectively and adjustable held therein by the set screws 11. The rod 12 has'the outer end thereof bent upwardly and provided with a knob or ornamentation 14, a'nd'said rod adjacent to the outer end thereof has a slot 15. The outer end of the rod 13 is bent and pivotally mounted in the slot 15 by atransverse pin 16.

It is apparent that the telescopic rods 12 and 13 can be adjusted relatively to the supports 8 and 9, whereby curtains or draperies of various widths can be placed upon the bracket. There are various ways of arranging the up er'ends of the curtains and as in instance, t e upper ends of the curtains can be carried over the support 8 and the rod 12,and then carried between said supports and said rods and frictionally held at the front side of the support 9 and the rod 13 by the front part of the curtains. It is optional however with the user of the fix tures as to the manner in which curtains are draped or arranged. v

/The fixture in its entirety is made 0.". light and durable metal and can be finished to harmonize with'the frame to which it is attached.

. What I claim is 1. A curtain fixture comprising a base plate, sets of parallel arms carried thereby, tubular supports having the inner ends thereof flattened and pivotally mounted bel tween the outer ends of each set of arms,

- rods slidably mounted in said tubular supports and having the outer endsthereof pivotally-connected together, and means carried by the outer ends of said supports for justa-bly holding said rod. 2. A curtain fixture comprising a base plate, arms carried thereby, tubular supports having the inner ends thereof fiattened\ and pivotally supported by said arms with one of said supports disposed at an angle to the other said supports, rods adjustably mounted in said tubular supports, one of plate, 'outvvardly extending parallel sets of arms carried thereby, a horizontal tubularsulpport having the inner, end thereof fiatte ed and'pivotally supported by one set of arms, an angularly d1sposed tubular support having the inner end thereof flattened and supported by the other set of arms, rods slidably mounted in said supports, one of said rods having the outer-ends thereof pivotally mounted in the other rod, and means carried by the outer ends of said supports for adjustably holding said rods therein.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
